Cooking Eggs On Big Green Egg

Yes, the Big Green Egg is just not for grilling and smoking meat. You can do vegetables like corn on the cob, baked beans and you can even do breakfast.

I had never done breakfast on the Egg until now. On Mother’s Day I wanted to make something different for breakfast. The mom of the house (my wife) enjoys a good plate of eggs and a side of meat. So I thought, why not try out something I saw done on my day with the people from La Grille.

Yes, you read that right. I used to think using a plank of wood was just for smoking fish. But as I have seen the pros do, you can cook anything on a plank. Veggies, meat, seafood and of course eggs on toast.

The concept is pretty simple. Put a piece of bread with a whole cut out on a plank. Crack egg into hole and close the lid. I enjoyed it greatly. My wife, who I will say is not the biggest fan of french toast, ate it, but it was not her favourite. If your kids like eggs (our’s don’t right now) this is a dish that is fun to make and fun to eat.

Move the breakfast or brunch table outside this summer and make it a fun event. I will be trying out more food on a plank this summer. It’s very camp fire like to me.

Cooking Eggs on Big Green Egg Recipe

You will need

At least two planks that have been soaked in water for four hours. I used cedar.

However many slices you need from a thick bread with one egg per piece.

I made an egg bath but you can leave your bread plain.

For that I used two eggs and La Grille smouldering smoked applewood spice and milk.
